Question

Amy's yearly salary is given by the equation y = 25,000 + 700x, where x is the number of years since 2007 and y is her salary in dollars. What was her salary in 2011?

Answer 1

Amy's Salary = $25,000 + ($700)x

 

x is the number of years since 2007, so x = 2011 - 2007 = 4 years.

 

Amy's Salary = $25,000 + ($700)*(4)
